Dubai creek

Just spending time along the banks of Dubai Creek can be a great experience. This is a saltwater creek which splits Dubai into two parts. In a way, it runs almost through the center of the city. The creek is one of the most prominent landmarks of Dubai. A number of entertainment and recreation developments have come up along the creek. This is indeed a great place to spend a few happy hours in the evening.

Camel racing

Camel racing is the traditional sport of Dubai and you must not leave Dubai without experiencing this phenomenon. The sight of so many camels racing in the sands is awe inspiring. Special racing tracks and stadiums have been built for these races. The best time to visit Dubai, if you want to witness these races, is between October and April.

Hatta trek

Hatta trek takes you to the old part of Dubai which is very different from the modernity and sophistication of the newer developments. On this trek, you get to witness local shops selling a range of locally grown fruits, lovely looking pots and exquisite carpets. You get to see the Ancient fort of Dubai in the Hatta Heritage Village along with various other interesting landmarks. The best sightings, however, are of the tiny oasis which characterizes the scenery of Hatta. There are also some lakes and trenches where you can swim and have great fun.

Dubai beaches

Dubai has numerous beaches. However, the best ones which you must visit are the Jumeirah Beach which is near the artificial island of Burj al Arab, the Al Mamzar beach where you can find some nice shady greenery and Jebel Ali beach which houses numerous attractions such as golf and lavish apartments.

 Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa tops the list. Famed as the tallest tower in the world, Burj Khalifa stands 829.84 meters tall. It has been built at the cost of $1.5 billion and is the pride of Dubai. Just looking at it from afar fills you with a sense of awe and wonderment. There are several things which you can visit in Khalifa such as the unique water fountain, the observation deck and the Burj Khalifa Park. The Khalifa is the biggest jewel in the crown of Dubai.
